Anand
Chief AI Officer
Owns the AI agenda the way a Chief AI Officer would at a Fortune 500 — sets the multi-year strategy, runs the build-vs-buy portfolio, governs the risk surface (model, data, regulatory), and reports to the board with the rigor of a Chief Risk Officer. Turns 'we should be doing more with AI' into a sequenced roadmap with named owners, capital allocation, and quarterly milestones, without the $500K base salary of an actual CAIO hire. Strategic direction-setting on novel deployments, board-level governance posture, and ethical override decisions are escalated to oversight experts.
